(A) The householder or owner of any dog so impounded shall be liable to the city for the payment of an impounding fee which shall be $20 and a charge of $7 for feeding and boarding for each day the dog is impounded and for any other costs so incurred in impounding the dog. The charges contained therein may be changed by ordinance by the City Council. Any householder or owner of any impounded dog desiring the dog to be restored to his or her possession shall pay to the city, prior to the redemption, all fees and charges; provided, however, that failure of any householder or owner of any impounded dog to seek or obtain the redemption of any impounded dog shall not relieve the householder or owner of the obligation to pay the fees and charges. Prior to the redemption of any impounded dog that is not licensed as required by this subchapter or other applicable law, the householder or owner seeking the redemption shall cause the dog to be properly licensed.
(B) This section shall take effect and be in full force on the day following its publication in the official city newspaper.
